Here is my 1:25:7 lap video. If you are struggling then maybe watch the lines and braking points used to see if you are doing anything fundamentally different.



Oscar.

Soime aggressive curbing Oscar!!

Did you do this offline?

Heck of a lap Oscar. When I try to drive into the corners like that I tend to end up with something much closer to a straight line (off track) than your gorgeous apex huggers. Nice lap.

J'ai oublié de prévenir, je serai là.

I know The car setup how it is for me is fine with curbs provided you are pointed where to want to go before using them. I lost 2 or 3 tenths in the last sector missing most apexes and outbraking in to the chicane. And no, it was online practice last night.

Im present. i'm just return to home, by the foreign weekend.

Won't make it for tonight's race, sorry.

Sorry Frank by the rule that i have lost, or any else things ?

Franky was only saying he will be absent tonight, you can race Gianluca ^^

Ops!

Race server launched, quali starts in 15min

This will be fun. Headache today, vomitting and no setup and barely any laps done for this event

Would be happy if I had a clue for the race...

I'm so sorry everyone, My PC is not co-operating.

je libere ma voiture pour le champ si ça interesse quelqu'un. je me fait sortir deux fois , une fois dans le tour de chauffe et une fois au 5 eme.
je vais rester poli et chercher un autre champ.
bonne continuation a tous

Was fun while it lasted. I was disappointed that I kept giving up places while trying to pass slower cars. I'll have to remember the "full turbo then stomp on the brakes tactic" to keep faster cars behind. Having an off and grazing the wall set my steering way off so I had to pit. The problem was my pit guys were setup past the end of pit lane!!! As I headed for my pitstall they disappeared as soon as I crossed the line at the end of the pits!!!! I went around again and the same thing........no service!!! so I guess I'm SOL.
Congrats to the finishers.

Rough race, rear end snapped without warning and sent me into the wall. Tried to repair the damage and come back on softs but completely cooked those. Sorry to whoever i sent off in turn one when there was a check up, I had nowhere to go with the brakes on the Sauber. It's like a dump truck lol

Was having great fun with no practice whatsoever, was feeling more and more comfortable and climbed from 11th to 7th. I was right behind Tiago and Joel and confident I could make it through to 5th place, unfortunately my tyres were cooked at half-race (will have to go for hard compound next time...) I pitted and the crew added a bit of fuel as well, 15s lost I was now 15th and pushing to the end hoping for a few points, when my internet box rebooted and that was the end of it, connexion lost

The first few laps were great though, very fast and clean from everyone, can"t wait for the next one

Je me suis bien amusé même si j'ai du malheureusement abandonner apres la mi-course sur casse moteur

La voiture etait tres agréable à piloter et cette grille de départ etait magnifique

Petit point noir, il y a encore eu des problemes dans le tour de lancement ce qui a coupé la grille en 2

Sinon pour ma casse moteur j'aimerai savoir si celà pouvait venir du fait que jamais mis le frein moteur sur 5
ou le boost sur 4
ou tout simplement le radiateur sur 3
parce que je ne pense pas l'avoir trop maltraité

Course loin des premiers avec la 2.8 mais quel regal encore ces voitures ...Merci à Philippe qui m'a obligé a rester au max pour le suivre a distance, puis le passer (accrochage avec un retardataire) et le voir revenir comme un boulet dans les derniers tours ... Il me passe superbement et fait une saucisse a 3 virages de la fin ...
Dommage mais on c'est bien regalé nous deux !
j'ai vu qu'il y avait des categories et je dois etre 1er dans la mienne (gentleman's drivers 2.8 ) ...j'ai droit a une coupe Gui?
a bientot

Very challenging race, but made it home. Pace up front was incredible.

On the pace lap, someone behind me misjudged the chicane and caused a minor collision. I slowed down to make sure I still started in my assigned slot, which caused some bumping. After the race got underway, I could hear the whistling sound of a Lancia in my ears -- Simon, who I always seem to run with Kept him at bay for a bit, but he eventually sneaked by. Got overtaken by several faster cars (Gianluca, Carl) but retirements kept me in the high 20s. Made my only serious error mid race, when Lorenzo (i think) was lapping me. I let him have the line into the chicane, but then I completely missed my braking zone Thankfully, I only brushed the side of his car and everyone continued on after a grass excursion. Sorry, Lorenzo.

Then I had a flat left front tire, apparently from degradation combined with light wall contact, so I had to pit. Hard tires next time for me too. In the closing laps I passed Simon again (who presumably had a tire issue); was catching Mike hand over fist when I ran out of laps. 21st place. Not the performance I had hoped for, but early days... Congrats Lorenzo and all finishers!

C'est ton dernier mot ? Ce qui t'es arrivé n'arrive pas tous les 4 matins en général, et lacher sa voiture sous le coup de la colère me semble un peu excessif, mais c'est toi qui vois. Moi peu importe, j'ai déjà Ludo pour te remplacer si tu pars.

6th place... wasn't expecting anything better to be honest. Just want to thank Joel for making this event a great one for me. Great battle from begining to the end of the race. Also thx to JP for not making my life very hard
